I normally take it off to putt. Yesterday at the practice chipping area though I didn't wear it. I still managed to chip in about three balls from 40 years out, so it was a win kinda day without it haha.

I take my glove off after every shot (to try to avoid the one glove tan line), but use it on every shot except putting. It just doesn't feel right with the glove on when putting.

I never wear a glove, I quit wearing one in the mid 90's, I was a Freddie Couples fan.  I was happy to do away with the expense of a glove and never knowing if I had one in the bag, if it was usable and so on.  Plus, today's grips are so much better than in years past, I found I really didn't need one.

Don't wear one anymore, but I always took it off after every shot and never wore it when chipping/pitching and putting. They say people use a glove to get a better grip, but I don't see why one would need it when putting.

I take it off after every shot.  I find that in hot weather down here in FL it helps me keep the glove dry which helps my game and extends the life of the glove too.

I don't wear the glove at all chipping or putting.  Don't know that I have any better "feel" as a result.....it's just what I've always done/

seems like too much effort to me to take it off to putt, put it in my back pocket, remember to put it back on.   I just leave it on ...

I take it off for any shot 100 yards or closer.  Basically, any time a wedge or putter is in my hands, I take off my glove.

When I used to wear a glove, I'd put it on for my tee shot, then immediately remove it. I wear it for chipping /putting, but I didn't really take it off either. Weaned myself off gloves years ago, and if I needed to don one again, I might go with two for the consistency.

I only wear one when using the driver, and remove it immediately.  When I did wear one for everything, a few years ago, I always left it on.  After a few rounds the glove was no longer wearable from sweating in it and I would go through several over the course of one season.  Now my "driving" glove lasts a couple of seasons.

I didn't vote, because there is no category which applies.

Funny - I did vote because even though I don't wear a glove there was an option aimed at me!

I take it off after every shot, and I don't wear one when it's less than 30 yards in to the green.

I am the 1%.

Sorry, couldn't resist....

I guess I can vote as never wear one, if it only pertains to chipping/putting, so long as it's not implying that had one on for a previous shot (unless it was a driver, then yes, imply away....wait....huh?).

I voted every shot inside 80 yards, but it's more like every shot inside 40-50 yards.  80 yards is a near full 60˚ (or near as full as I ever swing it at least), and I like my glove for full or near full shots.  Down in the 50 yard range and can take an easy 1/2 or 1/4 swing with the 60˚ or 54˚, and for that size swing or less I like no glove.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
